Hello, again ~~
I wasn't at your appointment, so I don't know how the doctor said it - the tone or facial expression he used. That adds a lot of context. But, as birdie0907 said, you're telling us he said, "if you don't help yourself....". As hard as it may be for you to hear this, there is some truth to what he said. Medication alone won't help any of us. It is simply one tool available to us.
Many folks have offered you suggestions on good tools and resources that are worth considering. And I know - trust me, I know - how hard it can be to take that first step. As rotten as the panic/anxiety is, it's at least familiar. And sometimes, the unfamiliar can be scary. But, taking that step towards other help and resources is the key to helping combat this illness in a more permanent, long-term way.
According to your posts, I know you've had some difficulty finding therapy and psychologists. I don't know if you live in a country outside of the US, or in an area in the US where there just isn't a lot. But maybe it's time to consider making a bigger change so you can get the help you need.
I know you are in such a hard place right now, and I'm praying for you. I think the biggest thing we struggle with in anxiety is helplessness. And while your efforts to get help may require more work than some of us due to location or proximity to that help - armira, it is so worth it. YOU are worth it. I know it may be scary to step so way outside the box to get help. But you need it, and you deserve it.

I see you are a frequent poster here although you keep making new threads instead of sticking to one or 2. Rather than go through all of your background, I will leave it to someone who has read your situation before to respond.
Good luck.
Good luck.
He didn't say this "So what's the point of using medications if they won't help me".
He did say you have to work on resolving the problem along with the medication. That is quite different. You work on the problem and the medication also works on the problem.
What did he tell you to do to help yourself?
